Can’t figure out which SpringOne Platform sessions to attend? I’ll help you out.

Next week is SpringOne Platform (S1P). This annual conference is where developers from around the world learn about about Spring, Cloud Foundry, and modern architecture. It’s got a great mix of tech talks, product demos, and transformational case studies. Hear from software engineers and leaders that work at companies like Pivotal, Boeing, Mastercard, Microsoft, Google, FedEx, HCSC, The Home Depot, Comcast, Accenture, and more.

If you’re attending (and you are, RIGHT?!?), how do you pick sessions from the ten tracks over three days? I helped build the program, and thought I’d point out the best talks for each type of audience member.

The “multi-cloud enthusiast”

Your future involves multiple clouds. It’s inevitable. Learn all about the tech and strategies to make it more successful.

How to Navigate a Sea of “No”(Tuesday 3:20pm). Creating a lasting transformation requires more than one champion. If you’re trying to build out your sponsor pool, this looks like a helpful talk by the Great American Insurance Group.

The “plugged-in manager”

Any engineering lead, manager, or executive is going to spend considerable time optimizing the team, not building software. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be up-to-date on what your team is working with. These talks will make you sound hip at the water cooler after the conference.
